Requires federal agencies to upgrade old computer systems and improve cybersecurity

This bill would help federal agencies update their old computer systems and improve cybersecurity. It changes how a special fund for tech upgrades works, making sure agencies pay back the money and report on their riskiest systems. This would lead to better, safer government services for everyone.

What Would Change

Today, the Technology Modernization Fund (TMF) provides money to agencies for IT upgrades, but repayment terms are less strict, and there isn't a mandated process for identifying and reporting high-risk legacy IT systems to Congress. This bill would make TMF repayment more explicit and incremental, prioritize replacing old computer systems, and require agencies to identify and report their riskiest IT systems to Congress. The fund would also sunset later, after December 31, 2032.

Key Provisions

Requires federal agencies to prioritize replacing old computer systems when using modernization funds.
Makes agencies pay back funds from the Technology Modernization Fund more strictly to keep the fund running.
Lets the government stop funding projects if agencies provide false information in their applications.
Requires federal agencies to create and update a list of their riskiest computer systems.
Requires the top federal tech officer to create a list of the 10 riskiest government computer systems and report it to Congress.
Extends the Technology Modernization Fund's life until after December 31, 2032.
